I weave together somatic psychotherapy, movement, and nervous system regulation to support deep transformation.
You might be navigating a life transition, relationship challenge, deep grief, or feeling lost in patterns of anxiety, burnout, dissociation or overwhelm. Perhaps your body is holding what words cannot express—chronic pain, tension, or a sense of disconnect. You long for relief, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself. My work is for those who seek more than just talk therapy—who want to feel change in their body, not just understand it in their mind. Together, we create space for healing, where old patterns can unravel, and a sense of possibility, agency, and ease can emerge.

I'm a psychotherapist with a background in somatic healing, yoga, and evidence-based therapy, helping people move beyond just understanding their emotions to actually feeling and integrating them.
You’re insightful, reflective, and committed to growth. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe even been to therapy before. But deep down, something still feels stuck. Maybe you overthink everything. Maybe your nervous system feels like it’s permanently wired for stress. Maybe no matter how much self-work you do, relationships still feel complicated.

I work holistically tending to your relational, behavioural, cognitive, emotional, somatic, and spiritual (if you're so inclined) layers of experience.
Trauma refers to the impact that a traumatic experience has left on the mind-body system as the result of not receiving or being able to express what was needed at the time. This creates internal dysregulation which underlies many diagnostic conditions. I aim to help you restore greater regulation.

I blend talk therapy with mindful, somatic psychotherapy.
Are you feeling unsure how to move forward? Maybe you're navigating relationship struggles or trying to make sense of your life? Most people come to therapy because they want something to change. But lasting transformation starts with understanding how things are right now. From a young age, our nervous systems adapt to help us navigate the world, creating automatic patterns of feeling and reacting. Whilst they once served us, they can become limiting over time, keeping us stuck in ways that no longer align with who we are or what we need. I am here to help you gently uncover and understand these ingrained patterns.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
